The Greatest
Spring Tonic.

At this season of the year Almost
every one experiences a sensation of
general lassitude and debility, which,
if neglected, results in a low, vitiated
condition of the vital forces, that
follows the sufferer throughout the
summer, and usually terminates in
some form of malarial or typhoid
fever. If, however, the patient has
the wisdom to take some reliable
remedy that gently acts on the slug
gish liver, enabling it to speedily
carry off all impurities, while at the
same time the system is vitalized and
invigorated, and the blood enriched,
the result is a condition of vigorous
health. This result is invariably

Fish Commissioner Stillwell says that the
recent destruction of the fish weir on Crooked
river by seventeen men with blackened faces,
will not drive the commission from Its pur-
pose of stocking Sebago. The affair has been
a serious setback, however. Last year $780,
900 eggs were secured for use in the hatch
cry and million were expected this year.
Instead of that number only about 250,0o0
will be secured. 1t is to be hoped that the
rascals who perpetrated this outrage may be
hunted down and brought to justice.

Leonard SWEET. presenting the defendant
case to the Supreme Court of Illinois created
a new sensation, but his efforts were no more
effective than subsequent ones for the reds
by General Butler, Roger Pryor and J Ran
dolph Tucker before the highest court of the
nation. George Francis Train and his queer
exploits were in singular contrast with the
grave proceedings and the bitter struggles in
the trades unions.
The splits caused by friends of the con-
demned in two of the greatest brctherhoods
in the world---knights of Labor and Turner's
have had far reaching effects, but the at
tention of people at large has been much
more strongly arrested by the events of the
past few days. Beginning with Parsons ex-
traordinary demand for liberty complete or
death, and Spies equally surprising appeal
for little lease of life, everything seems to
have combined if possible, to make this
period exceed in worldwide interest the DAYS
of the haymarket massacre.

Double Tragedy.

SAX FRANCISCO, Sept. 26.--Word reaches
here that at Indian Valley, about two hun
bred miles south of this city, john McA.rdle
and J. c. Reardon were killed Saturday BY
Newton AzoelI. 1t appears that McArdle
and Reardon attempted to file on land
claim previously entered by Abel, the two
former claiming there was defect in the
atter's papers. A bitter dispute then arose
Yesterday morning Azbell went to the cabin
built by McArdle and Reardon and shot the
men while they were in bsd. They died in
staptly. The murderer, who is man OF
family and has hitherto borne a good repu-
tation, surrendered himself 10 officers late in
the day. So far he refuses to talk.
